Bug Description

On dragonboard, and possibly others, I noticed while testing that if you don't specify data for the provisioning step, it still checks that the board is in a state where it's ready to receive an image by forcing it to the master image. On certain devices, such as dragonboard, this is a destructive process to the existing test image on the device, and may not be desirable.

I think this will be a bigger gotcha if we have device agents that handle things via upgrade rather than destructively installing a new image. For those, we'll simply not destroy the existing image, but it's still a nice to have feature for testing things quickly in development. So I'm marking it low, but I definitely want to keep this in mind for devices that use refresh or upgrade for the provisioning part.
